8. STRESS RESPONSE
Stress is the body’s response to anything that makes
us feel threatened or pressured. It is caused by any
kind of demand, to which we must adapt, adjust, or
respond. It is the body’s automatic way of reacting to
changes, challenges, and demands placed on us.
9. Some stress is necessary, however too much stress may
cause wear and tear on the body and mind. Major life
events, such as moving, separation or divorce of
parents, death of loved one, changing schools or losing
a friend, may cause anxiety and distress. Other day to
day situations, including being late or leaving a project
until the last minute, can also cause stress. It is
important that students learn to recognize what we
might be causing them stress and learn strategies to
help control and alleviate stress.
